MEH-TV

The MEH-TV News Crew is made up
of talented and dedicated students who broadcast a live recording of the
morning announcements throughout the whole school, every day for an entire
marking period.

Anyone who shows an
interest in the program is selected from an application pool of students who
are currently enrolled in my 7th Grade Technological Systems and Careers class.

These students are most suitable for this
role because the seventh-grade CTE curriculum coincides with the skills needed to successfully
operate the studio.

The knowledge and skills that are needed to run the MEH-TV studio
derive from the career clusters of Arts, A/V Technology and Communications;
Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics; and Information Technology,
which are all a part of STEM education.

This experience impacts student learning because these students are
exercising hands-on learning with STEM education in order to produce the
morning announcements and give technical assistance to other programs that
would like to use the studio’s facilities.

Furthermore, by participating in the
morning announcements, these students are empowered by having the opportunity
to create video news segments which require them to operate technical equipment
and work together as a team.

With this opportunity, students are able to practice their workplace readiness skills in a
monitored and controlled learning environment which will help to prepare them
for the work force in the future.

The staff of Mary Ellen Henderson's channel 14, and their sponsor Bradley Lands, paid a visit to the Falls Church Community Television studios at George Mason High School this week. FCC-TV supervisor Michael Palmrose (right) and Lands have been exploring ways to expand the integration of video technology in the classroom. The students currently produce the daily MEH morning announcements that is played throughout the school at 7:30 a.m. and archived later in the day on YouTube.
